Moldovan businessmen acquires largest carpet factory in Romania

We don’t get much in the way of news about Moldova in the maintstream UK media. Tony Hawks’ rib-tickler, How to Beat the Moldovans at Tennis, prompted a little bit of commentary a few years. back. Otherwse, personal organ sales (livers etc not Hammonds) is the only news story that I can recall over the last while.

Having had some great adventures in Moldova, I have resolved to use one of my RSS feed sidebar widgets to bring you some news and entertainment from Moldova.

And what is currently going on in Moldova? After a quick search, the first story that struck me was the title of this post. It both delighted and amused me to hear this as amongst my fondest memories was discovering that Moldovans are very proud of their tiny little carpets, half the size of an average doormat. So things are obviously on the up.

    This is my favourite recent photograph. Like most folks who live in or visit Brighton and Hove and see the colourful beach-huts and think “Oooh that would make a nice photo”, I was pleasantly delighted to get another angle. The contrast of the seasons is simple and the colours are great and my eldest daughter loves them too. Splendid.
